Materials Data on ZrSn by Materials Project

Abstract

ZrSn crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmmn space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Zr sites. In the first Zr site, Zr is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to ten Sn atoms. There are a spread of Zr–Sn bond distances ranging from 3.03–3.34 Å. In the second Zr site, Zr is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Sn atoms. There are a spread of Zr–Sn bond distances ranging from 2.93–3.19 Å. In the third Zr site, Zr is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four Sn atoms. There are a spread of Zr–Sn bond distances ranging from 3.04–3.20 Å. There are three inequivalent Sn sites. In the first Sn site, Sn is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four Zr and four equivalent Sn atoms. There are a spread of Sn–Sn bond distances ranging from 2.95–3.09 Å. In the second Sn site, Sn is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Zr atoms. In the third Sn site, Sn is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to ten Zr atoms.
